Synopsis:

Broadway’s longest-running American musical, Chicago is a  dazzling and satirical look at fame, justice, and the media machine. Set  in 1920s Chicago and based on real-life murders and trials, Chicago  follows Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star who murders her lover  and is arrested, despite her attempts to convince her pushover husband,  Amos, to lie for her. In the Cook County Jail, Roxie meets her hero, the  famed double-murderess and nightclub performer Velma Kelly. When both  acquire the same lawyer, the greedy and lustful superstar, Billy Flynn,  tensions come to a head as they vie for the spotlight-- though instead  of onstage, they’re mugging for the flashbulb of the newspaper  reporters. With catchy, sexy music and timeless lyrics by John Kander  and Fred Ebb, and a funny, intelligent, and utterly engaging book by  Kander and Bob Fosse, Chicago is a musical spectacular that is as  addictive as gossip rags and as unforgettable as any trial of the  century.

CHICAGO contains some adult themes and language. 

This production is presented in an "in concert" format, as a celebration of  the music with multimedia embellishment.   

Promotional consideration given to the North Kingstown Arts Council.
